Raul: At Madrid, There’s Life After Ronaldo

Los Blancos legend, Raul is confident in the fact that Real Madrid will survive after Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portuguese star has been the main man for Madrid since joining from Manchester United in 2009.

Nevertheless, Raul is confident the Spanish giants are not overly reliant on the Portugal captain.

“There is definitely life after Ronaldo,” Raul told AS. “What Cristiano has been doing is huge, but Madrid have a great team with players who can still offer more. The important things is that they keep working as a unit.

“Cristiano has been the top scorer for the last seven seasons or so. Nobody expected him to perform like this, he has an incredible desire to meet his objectives and keep working.

“I have a good relationship with him. And there is a mutual admiration. It’s a shame that we played together for just one year, but it was an important year and we had a connection.”
